Door window - removal and refitting

2 Where necessary for access, peel back the
waterproof plastic sheet from the door.

3 Remove the door mirror.

4 Remove the window channel extension
screw from the bottom rear corner of the
door, and withdraw the channel through the
lower door aperture.

5 Lower the window until the lower support
channel is visible through the lower door
aperture. Prise the regulator arms from the
sockets in the support channel, then lower the
window to the bottom of the door.

6 Carefully prise the weatherstrip from the
rear edge of the window aperture, then tilt the
window forwards and lift it outwards through
the aperture.

7 Refitting is a reversal of removal, but
position the rear window channel extension
screw to allow approximately 5.0 mm (0.2 in)
fore and aft movement of the window. Check
to ensure that the window does not tip as it is
raised, and that the regulator effort is
acceptable (check that the motor is not being
overloaded on models with electric windows).

Adjust the channel extension screw if
necessary.

Rear door
8 Proceed as shown in paragraphs 1 and 2.

9 On Saloon and Hatchback models, prise
the interior quarter trim panel from the rear of
the door, then remove the now exposed
screw and withdraw the exterior trim panel.

10 Remove the three window channel
extension screws from the rear of the door,
and withdraw the channel through the lower
door aperture.

11 Lower the window until the lower support
channel is visible through the lower door
aperture. Prise the regulator arms from the
sockets in the support channel, then lower the
window to the bottom of the door.

12 Carefully prise the weatherstrip from the
front edge of the window aperture, then tilt the
window rearwards and lift it outwards through
the aperture.
